His Majesty spoke to us . with Some' displeasure, but without any great warmth, of the Prince who governed us, and of his Royal rice. He principally treated of the tneallti of raising us to our tlue station among the powers of the Continent of .Europe, and of delivering us from the yoke of Bri tish influence, tinder which we had, during so many years, suffered. His Majesty said, that he would endure no English colony on the Continent. Finally, he declared, that our, fate. was in our own hands; that it depended on the disposition which we should manifest to the world, the uprightness with which We should •embrace the 'general cause. of the Con tinent of Europe, and the firmness with which we should resist - temptations to. mislead us (rotu the ob jects in 'view. See, these ire the tokens by which his Imperial and Royal Majesty will recognize whe ther you are worthy - to constitute a nation, support a throne, and have a Prince 's tid will govern you, and •_ fill a rank among'the powers of Europe."

NorurFG bad arrived in an Official shape from B P4I when this Paper was put to Press.--The Infy intelligence at present in circulation, respect tug the dfairs of that Country, is derived from a Gerdeinan who came in the Vessel which brought the last Disiatches, and who left Cadiz on the 215 th. According to his account, there is little to be eveeted from the Marquis Ds SOLANO, to WhOill, on his return feum Portugal, the Patriotic Spaniards lOoked• up with confidence. They flock• eci round him, and invited him to join the Stand ard of his Country, against the French Invaders; but * he recomineuded tranquillity, seeming to con &der :dl resistance to the French as hopeless, and only likely to bring forward the most dreadful events. The. Marquis, •however, had nut heard at thiS pe- Tioct of the noble spirit which had arisen in other the Province of Estramadura,he received a Dispateh . Quarters of Spain. Soon after the Marquis arrived in from the temporary, Government at Madrid. re quiring ,his presence immediately. lieobeyed the summons, divided his -Army, .and stationed them in various direaioni.—Fle afterwards issued a Pro -lamation declaring that the French and .Spanish. Troops were hencetbrward to be considered as upblf the same footing. • It is evident that such a man, however good his intentions, is not fit for so import,- , • • 'alit a crisis. Theta= Gentleman, who i s generally Mentioned•as a.very respeaable character, says, that though the,people of Cadiz and its neighbourhood had not beard of the noble spirit that animated their Countrymen in the northern pins of Spain,.they ex pressed the most decided animosity against the treachery and oppression 'of France. General SPEN CER had net attempted a landing, but bad not. returned to Gibraltar. Other accounts, via -1101- - land, state that BUONAPARTE had fully accom plished his purpose in Spain, and was about to quit Bayonne on his return to .Paris. If any confidence, is to be placvd, in the;las intelli gence, it is probable that BuoNAPArrz. is doubtful of his success in Spain, and has left - the struggle to his Generals, as well as the disgrace, if virtue and patriotism should triumph over injustice and op-. pression. 1 1 LAST night some, Areign% Papers to the itith reached town, from which we have extracted some interesting articles. JOSI31)11 BUONAPARTE has been summoned by his Brother to attend him atßayonne, but for what purpose it is not mentioned—perhaps to make him a present of either the Kingdom of Spain. or Portugal;' though some of the German Papers positively assert thar LUCIEN BUONAPARTE Is to be the new Sgvereign of Spain. These Papers give its no ;nformation respecting thelransaCtions in Spain„ but BuoNAproma is collecting as many of • the Spanish Nobles about him at Bayonne as he can, in order to give some thing like'a colour to his usurpation. . . Yesterday, at one o'clock, His MAJESTY arrived in town from' Windsor and was received at the Queen's Palace by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE; at two o'clock His MAntsTr held a private Lei , ee. The following had the liOnour of being pre sented lo - his MAJ EsTY The Rev.

Just as he was leafing the Palace, the St. Margaret's and' St. John's Volunteers v , ere passing ; they halted in consequence, and gave His MAJESTY a Royal Salute. On Sunday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Duke of PORTLAND'S house, it The Cabinet met again at the Foreign Office, at the sante hour on Monday, 'when the Spaniards who lately arrived in this country attended. The three Spant3ll Officers whO. arrived from Cadiz in the Minorca came up to town yester day, in . consequence of an, order by . the Telegraph on the preceding evening, and had an interview ixith some of the Ministers. The objet of their mission is said to be the arrangement of some commercial intercourse. between - the Spanish Co , lollies on the River Plate and this Country. Yesterday a General Court was held' at the East India House, when the Dividend on the half-year commencing the sth of January last, and ending the stir of July, next, was declared to be al per cent. The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court, that the Petition to the House Of Commons, approved on the last General Court, had been • presented, and re ferred to the Committee fur investigating the Com • patty's Affairs; that, in consequence of the first Report Iron) that Committee, .the House had re solved, that a sum not exceeding A,500,0001. be paid to the Company, on laccount of expellees in curred by them in the public service; and that it was understood that the Committee are to continue their investigation of the several matters contained in the Company's Petition, and to report further to the House.

HUGHES, Tottenham ; for Madras and Bengal.—Capt. J. NORMAN, Devaynes, for Bombay. Music.--The benefit Concert of Mrs. Astra last night at the 'Argyle-street Rooms, was one or the best musical treats that the present season has produced, and was very well attended. Mrs. Btt.- LINGTON, BRAHAM, and NALDI, lent their powerful assistance on the occasion, and Mrs. ASHR was a considerable prop to the entertainment. " Fair. Aurora" was delightfully sung. by Mrs. BILLING TON and BRAHAM, not accompanied. by the Band, blit by BEAtiAM on the piano forte, a circurn-, stance that. placed them in an awkward position with relation to the audience. ASH/.s concerto on the flute was a perle& exhibition of the powers of the instrument. The whole was well .varied, and highly applauded. CORN-EXCHANGE, JUNE 33.---Although but an inconsiderable supply of Wheat to-day, it exceeds the demand, and sales are heavy, nearly at last prices; Barley likewise, a very . few buyers; there is scarcely any Malt, and Beans of the two descrip tions ; White Pease, the price nominal ; there are large supplies of Oats, and this trade is named at a declension in price oeabout is. and Vs.'per quarter; the terms of Flour continue without alteration. There is no truth in the statement of the death of the Earl of FYFR, which we copied from a Morn ing Paper of yesterday.

The battle of Kuopio, lasted three hours; at the end of which,the Swedes entered the place., took SOO Russian prisoners; many of whoM were wounded; 1200 barrels of 'corn, .1000 sacks of flour, tell into the hands of the visitors. Several other engagel. ments have taken place, in all of which the Swedes had the advantage : the Russians were emy where repulsed, s and lest several magazines. The Russian Arniy is'at present concentcrcd at Gamla Carleby, to the number of about ;nob men ; KONnsroa's Army is daily advancing, and receives reinforce ments front all quarters ; a general englgetnent is hourly expecled.

From the Army in Norway nothing very interest ing has been received for some time: General D'Atiwkwr was on the I§th May ar Hohnidahl; In a small affair of posts, Baron ULFSPARN and a few chasseurs were surprised, and the Baron lost his life;'. htirthe E'nerny was repulsed, and the Swedes took one ht♦witzer and several prisoners. General D'AnmveLoT, it is said, is hourly .ex , petted here, to confer with General Sir JOHN MOORS upon the return 'of Colonel MoanAv, who, it is ex petted, -will bring orders relative to the ultimate destination of the English Army. Numerous Couriers have , prissed lately between Elsineor 'and Helsingburgh, from - which it is con jeCtured than the King of Denmark, fearful of .tiur retaking Zealand, is endeavouring - to negotiate a Peace with England and'Sweden. When his situation is considered, the thing seems by oo means improba ble. The last Letters from Copenhagen mentioh the price of bcefand other meat at 23. 6d, per pound, and every thing in proportion, and the discontents of the populace very loud ; they openly declare their wish to see the English again, recollecting that, during their . . stay in the Island, every article of provision was abundant, and money still _more. The greatest degree of fermvntation possible exists ainong the Spanish Troops lit Fionda ; it nearly amounts to a revolt; they declare they have been deceived, and openly avow their intention to put themselves under the proteEtion of the English Fleet, if they are not immediately allowed to return to Spain. What will it be when they. hear the last ac counts from Madrid, which they had not then re ceived. . The accounts that have been published about the danger in whiCh Stockholm was supposed to be, are without the least tbundation. The recruiting service throughout Sweden goes on briskly, and by the end of th'e summer this Country will be in a situation not only to resist every attempt, of the Rusians, but but to aft offensively.

On Monday, BETTISON'S Evening Promenade commenced for the season. The company is not yet numerous, but his large and elegant Room is well calculated for the accommodation, without beat or inconvenience, of many hundreds of persons.-- He has engaged a professional Gentleman of .soma notoriety in the musical world, who performs on the wind Piano every evening for an hour, from nine to ten, while the company listen or talk, or walk about as the humour of the moment suits.
